Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Recap

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
